The Third International Symposium on Cladocera, papers from which
make up this volume, covered recent findings on the behaviour, life
history, population genetics, reproduction, chemical communication,
predator-prey interactions, epibionts, taxonomy, phylogeny,
palaeolimnology and biogeography of this animal group. The
Cladocera occupy an intermediate position in lake ecosystems, both
as plankton and benthic organisms. Their often high abundance and
their function, as transfer organisms from algae and dead organic
matter to macro-invertebrates and fish, make them one of the most
important organisms to affect the biological processes in
freshwater ecosystems. The Cladocera living among the plankton
often have recognizable distribution patterns and migrations; their
size and brief life cycles make them popular in laboratory
experiments; their cyclic parthenogenesis makes them suitable for
many aspects of population genetics; and they are present as
microfossils in lake sediments. All these features confer a unique
status on the Cladocera as model organisms in many aspects of
modern systematics and ecology.
